The environmental cost is an increase or decrease in rates that are charged to recover capital, operating and maintenance costs associated with government mandated environmental costs. These rates charged to electric utility customers may be increased or decreased in an amount per kWh through an environmental compliance cost recovery rider.

In keeping with sound financial management practices, the City’s policy ensures that its utilities are operated in a fiscally sound manner, and as such to make environmental compliance cost recovery adjustments, as necessary, to pass on compliance costs for federal mandates to utility customers.

The monthly PCA Rider in cents per kilowatt (kWh) shall represent the difference between total East Point Power costs (including wholesale power, distribution system operations and maintenance, administrative charges, transfers and allocations paid to East Point’s general fund), and total East Point Power revenues (including sales of electricity and other operating receipts) divided by the total kWh hour sold to customers served under tariffs subject to such power cost adjustment (PCA). Application of this rider is at the sole discretion of the City of East Point. Applicable tariffs include residential, general service and small, medium and large power.

Requirements for Reestablishing Service due to Non-Payment Disconnection

Re-Establishing Service Request

Requirements to Transfer Service

Transfer of Service is when a resident moves/transfers from one property in East Point to another property in East Point.

Requirements to Transfer Service
  • Connection fee of $60.00 in addition to any past due amount owed on the existing account.
  • Transferring from one East Point property to another East Point property that has additional services, a service deposit will be required, in addition to the $60.00 Connection fee.

Landlord Agreement

For homeowners renting property, there is an opportunity to establish a Landlord Agreement, which is a savings to the property owner. In a Landlord Agreement, the deposit made to establish services remains on the account even when a tenant leaves the property. This deposit allows for an easy transition between tenants, permitting the property owner to avoid paying reoccurring deposit fees to establish service.

Termination of Service

The Termination of Utility Services must be in writing, and include a Driver’s License or picture ID. Requests can either be faxed to (404) 559-4438, emailed to customercare@eastpointcity.org or delivered in person to Customer Care.

Deposits/Refunds

Upon termination of service, deposits are refunded partially or in full based on the final reading of the bill. If the final bill is less than the deposit, the difference will be refunded to the customer. However, if the final bill is more than the deposit, the balance must be paid within 45 days after the due date or the account will be sent to Collections.
